Description
Background of invention
I. invention field
The present invention relates to communication system.Especially, the present invention relates in the different wireless communication system, carry out the method and apparatus that hard handoff switches.
II. description of related art
In code division multiple access (CDMA) spread spectrum communication system, with public frequency band and intrasystem all base station communications.In the interim standard I S-95-A of TIA/EIA, the such system of an example has been described, its name is called " mobile radio station-base station compatible standard that is used for dual mode wideband spread spectrum cellular system ", and its content is included in this by reference.United States Patent (USP) 4,401,307 and United States Patent (USP) 5,103,459 have disclosed generation and the reception to the CDMA signal, and the former name is called " spread spectrum multiple access communication that uses satellite or terrestrial repeaters ", and the latter's name is called " system and method that produces waveform in cdma cellular formula telephone system ", two patents have all transferred assignee of the present invention, and its content is included in this by reference.
Distinguish the signal that takies common band in receiving station with high speed pseudo noise (PN) sign indicating number.The PN sign indicating number is modulated the signal of base station and mobile radio station emission.In receiving station,, receive signal discretely from different base station by distributing to unique time shift of each base station in the difference PN sign indicating number.High speed PN modulation also allows the signal of receiving station's reception from single cell site, and the signal here is sent to receiving station's (being commonly referred to " multipath ") from the base station by several different propagation paths.United States Patent (USP) 5,490,165 and United States Patent (USP) 5,109,390 have disclosed the modulation to multipath signal, and the former name is called " restitution element in the system that can receive a plurality of signals distributes ", and the latter's name is called " diversity receiver in the cdma cellular formula telephone system ", two patents have all transferred assignee of the present invention, and its content is included in this by reference.
Use the mode of a common band to allow between a mobile radio station and a more than base station, to communicate simultaneously by all base stations in the particular system.This is commonly referred to " soft handover ".United States Patent (USP) 5,101,501 and United States Patent (USP) 5,267,261 provide the execution mode of a kind of soft over-area switching method and equipment, and the former name is called " the soft handover in the cdma cellular worker telephone system ", and the latter's name is called " the auxiliary soft handover of mobile radio station in the cdma cellular formula communication system ", two patents have all transferred assignee of the present invention, and its content is included in this by reference.Equally, mobile radio station can be simultaneously and two sector communication of same base station.This is called " softer handover ", and the U.S. Patent application that awaits the reply 08/405,611 is described to some extent to this.U.S. Patent application 08/405,611 the applying date is March 13 nineteen ninety-five, denomination of invention is " being used for carrying out the method and apparatus of handover between each sector of a public base station ", has transferred assignee of the present invention, and its content is included in this by reference.An important feature is that soft handover all is to set up new connection existing before being connected interruption with softer handover.
If mobile radio station moves to outside its current system boundary of communicating by letter, wish so to keep communication link by sending to adjacent system (if any) to call out.Adjacent system can use any radiotechnics, for example CDMA, NAMPS, Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS), time division multiple access (TDMA) or global mobile system (GSM).If adjacent system uses CDMA on the frequency band identical with current system, can carry out the soft handover between system so.Not carrying out under the situation of soft handover between system, by hard handoff switched and transferred communication link, hard handoff switching here is to interrupt current connection before setting up new the connection.The example that typical hard handoff switches comprises following situation: (1) mobile radio station moves to the zone that system served of using another kind of technology from the zone of cdma system service; (2) diverting call (inter-frequency hard switching) between two cdma systems that use different frequency bands.
Inter-frequency hard is switched and can also be taken place between each base station of same cdma system.For example, can require more frequency to satisfy these demands than suburb on every side such as the bigger area of demands such as high density urban district.In system, use all available frequencies possibilities and uneconomical all the time.When the user moves to lower regional of density, must carry out handover to the calling of sending with the frequency of only using at high density area.Another example is that system has run into the interference from another business that works in interfering frequency in the system boundary.When the user moves into when being subjected to another traffic interference regional, its calling can require to be handed off to different frequencies.
Handover can start with various technology.The U.S. Patent application 08/322,817 that awaits the reply has jointly disclosed some handoff techniques, initiates the technology of handover with signal quality measurement result comprising those.The applying date of described patent application is on October 16th, 1994, and denomination of invention is " carrying out the method and apparatus of handover between different cellular communications systems ", has transferred assignee of the present invention, and its content is included in this by reference.The U.S. Patent application 08/652 that awaits the reply jointly, 742 have further disclosed handoff techniques, the applying date of this patent application is on May 22nd, 1996, denomination of invention is " carrying out the method and apparatus that hard handoff switches in cdma system ", transferred assignee of the present invention, its content is included in this by reference.The U.S. Patent application 08/413,306 that awaits the reply jointly (' 306 application) has disclosed the situation that is handed off to another technological system from cdma system.The applying date of this patent application is March 30 nineteen ninety-five, and denomination of invention has transferred assignee of the present invention for " switching to the method and apparatus of another system from the auxiliary CDMA hard handoff of mobile radio station ", and its content is included in this by reference.In ' 306 applications, pilot beacon is placed on the boundary of system.These beacons are just sending in the frequency band by close mobile station monitors, allow this pilot beacon of mobile station monitors, no longer readjust another frequency band.When mobile radio station when these pilot beacons are reported in the base station, mobile radio station is known near the border in the base station, and in response, the hard handoff that is ready to might carry out between system switches.
When system's judgement should be transferred to another system with certain calling by the hard handoff switching, message that it is done like this to mobile radio station transmission one guiding and the parameter that mobile radio station is connected with goal systems.The system that mobile radio station is ready to break away from has only the estimation to mobile radio station physical location and environment, is accurate so can not guarantee to send to the parameter of mobile radio station.For example, utilizing the auxiliary handover of beacon, can be the effective triggering that is used for handover to the measurement of pilot beacon signal strength signal intensity.But, needn't known target systems in can with those base stations of mobile radio station efficient communication.But, in an inventory of mobile radio station, kept this mobile radio station and done those base stations of efficient communication and those base stations that are considered to good candidate according to additional standard.The distribution of base station to the forward link circuit resource that come into question depended in included base station in the inventory.Because generally speaking, only require less relatively candidate base station, be to resource waste so distribute the forward link resource, and reduced the available system capacity with all possible candidate base station.
The U.S. Patent application 08/816,746 that awaits the reply has jointly disclosed the method that a kind of increase completes successfully the hard handoff switching probability.The applying date of this patent application is on February 18th, 1997, and denomination of invention has transferred assignee of the present invention for " carrying out the method and apparatus that the auxiliary hard handoff of mobile radio station switches between communication system ", and its content is included in this by reference.In present most system, mobile radio station has only a radio frequency (RF) front end circuit.Therefore, can only receive a frequency band sometime.Therefore, communicate by letter with goal systems, must stop and the contacting of origination system in order to make mobile radio station.In ' 746 applications, mobile radio station interim be tuned to the frequency of hard handoff handover target system, and search for pilot signal available on this frequency, be used for comprising relevant base station with organizing existing.After search mission is finished, mobile radio station will retune to the frequency that starts, so that recover current communication.When be tuned to during alternative frequency, any Frame that is produced or sent by the base station by mobile radio station all will worsen.In general, the base station only provides a subclass that may be offset (being commonly referred to " allowing tabulation ") for mobile radio station, so that search.
The U.S. Patent application 09/013,413 that awaits the reply has jointly disclosed a kind of search the shortest method of duration that makes.The applying date of this application is on January 26th, 1998, and denomination of invention has transferred assignee of the present invention for " utilizing the off line search to carry out the method and apparatus that the auxiliary hard handoff of mobile radio station switches ", and its content is included in this by reference.In this application, receiver is stored in the information that receives on the frequency band that uses a possible hard handoff handoff candidate base station.Do not handle this signal, up to getting back to the frequency band that use the base station of starting with receiver is tuning.Retune by storage signal so that at receiver and to handle after getting back to the frequency of using the base station of starting, can with receiver be tuned to start longer time of frequency of base station.Therefore, less information is lost.But when the base station of starting sends with relative higher data speed, information will be lost.When information dropout, the base station must resend information, is not perhaps having under the situation of information, and pending datas such as receiver reach.Therefore, need a kind of be tuned to during other frequencies (such as, when attempting to discern potential hard handoff handoff candidate) can further reduce the method and apparatus of information dropout amount.
Summary of the invention
Here the method and apparatus of Jie Shiing can be carried out in the search appropriate system and make between mobile radio station and " starting " base station amount minimum " break period " in the communication link when the auxiliary hard handoff of mobile radio station switches.
In an example of institute's revealing method and equipment, mobile radio station be tuned to alternative frequency, and to the input data sampling, these samplings are stored in the memory.With mobile radio station be tuned in period of described alternative frequency, all are all lost along the data that forward link sends to mobile radio station.The reverse link data that is sent by mobile radio station will send with alternative frequency.Therefore, the base station of starting can not receive these reverse link data.When having stored the sampling of sufficient amount, the tuning frequency that starts of getting back to of mobile radio station.At this moment, mobile radio station receives forward link data once more, and reverse link data is successfully sent to the base station of starting.After retuning to the frequency that starts, the searcher in the mobile radio station will be with the storage data that receive from alternative frequency search for pilot signals skew in order.According to the method and apparatus that discloses here, since relative shorter with the alternative frequency sampling with the needed time of storage signal, so existing do not have to interrupt with communication link.Now can not be subjected to the influence of follow-up off line search with communication link yet.Another kind method is, when receiver be tuned to during alternative frequency, handle in real time.But, this real-time processing generally can increase receiver be tuned to time of alternative frequency, thereby also can increase receiver by the frequency that starts the amount of information that can not receive.
According to the method and apparatus that discloses here, the error correction coding that receiver uses allow according to the information that receives by the frequency that starts determine because of receiver be tuned to the alternative frequency information that can not receive.Here the method and apparatus of Jie Shiing also transmitter-receiver will be used for determining receiver be tuned to during the information of the information content that sends during alternative frequency, increase transmitting power, thereby improved receiver.On the other hand, when using lower data rate, send redundant information traditionally, but the present invention removes these redundant informations by the frequency that starts, so as can with receiver be tuned to provide a window in period of alternative frequency.

The detailed description of preferred embodiment
Below a kind of method and apparatus that comprises the embodiment of the invention is described in detail.Fig. 1 shows a communication system, and in this system, mobile radio station 5, is communicated by letter with a communication system of fixing on forward link 12 and reverse link 14 energetically by " starting " base station 10.The base station 10 of starting is parts of " starting " system, and by forward link 12 and reverse link 14, f1 sends and receives information with first frequency respectively for it.Among the figure, mobile radio station 5 is just shifted to " target " system from origination system, and goal systems is with sending and receiving information on the second frequency f2.Goal systems comprises " target " base station 20 and 22, does not communicate by letter with mobile radio station 5 now in these two base stations.But, if with mobile radio station 5 be tuned to frequency f 2, mobile radio station 5 just can receive the pilot signal from target BS 20 so.Origination system and goal systems all are the parts of described fixed communications, and this fixed communications allows mobile radio station and other communication apparatus communication, such as the black phone that links to each other with public switched telephone network or other Wireless Telecom Equipment.Should be appreciated that fixed communications can comprise can provide any equipment of radio communication or the combination of equipment between mobile system and other communication equipment.
According to an example of the method and apparatus that discloses here, trigger mobile radio station, with its be tuned to alternative frequency.For example, the base station 10 of starting can be carried out the auxiliary inter-frequency hard of mobile radio station with mobile radio station 5 and switched.The U.S. Patent application 08/816,746 that awaits the reply has jointly disclosed an example and has moved auxiliary inter-frequency hard switching.The denomination of invention of this patent application is " moving the method and apparatus that auxiliary hard handoff switches between communication system ", and the applying date is on February 18th, 1997, has now transferred assignee of the present invention.Move in the auxiliary inter-frequency hard switching in this class, the base station 10 of starting sends one " tuning message " to mobile radio station 5.This tuning information order mobile radio station be tuned to alternative frequency (being f2 in this example), and search for one group of available pilot signal (for example, target BS 20 and 22 pilot signal).
Perhaps, by other Event triggered mobile radio station search hard handoff handoff candidate.For example, mobile radio station detects a signal, such as detecting the beacon signal of being sent by another intrasystem base station.This beacon signal may be to launch in the frequency band of mobile station monitors.Beacon signal has a hard handoff handoff candidate near mobile radio station is represented.In response, mobile radio station will be tuned to the alternative frequency relevant with this detection signal.
Will be when alternative frequency f2 be tuning when being subjected to trigger, mobile radio station 5 be tuned to alternative frequency f2, and carry out the activity that adapts with triggering signal.For example, if triggering signal is a tuning message, so mobile radio station 5 will be tuned to alternative frequency, and search hard handoff handoff candidate.In case activity end, mobile radio station 5 just retunes to frequency f 1, and recovers and the communicating by letter of the base station 10 of starting.If the activity that mobile radio station 5 carries out has produced information to be sent, such as the Search Results to the pilot signal of candidate's hard handoff switched system, mobile radio station 5 sends to the message of ecbatic the base station 10 of starting of origination system so.Origination system judges whether take further action according to the result.When judging whether to need additional action, can also relate to miscellaneous equipment or system.For example,, judge whether to carry out hard handoff by origination system with goal systems so and switch, switch if desired, judge which target BS that switches in the goal systems so if mobile radio station 5 is being searched for the hard handoff handoff candidate.
When mobile radio station 5 be tuned to during frequency f 2, all can lose from all forward link traffic of the base station 10 of starting.In addition, in most of traditional systems, the transmitter section of mobile radio station and receiver section use same local oscillator.Therefore, when receiver be tuned to during f2, anyly want reverse link data is sent to the trial of the base station of starting all with invalid.That is to say, owing to these emissions frequency of utilization f2 not monitoring frequency f2 of base station 10 that starts, so the base station 10 of starting can not receive these emissions.
Here in the method and apparatus of Jie Shiing example, when start base station 10 order mobile radio stations 5 be tuned to during frequency f 2, mobile radio station does not resemble real-time process information the prior art.But, note signals sampling with frequency f 2, and these samplings are stored in the memory.Should be appreciated that any memory device that can stored information be provided with reprocessing can use, such as random-access memory (ram).In case obtained requisite number purpose sampling, mobile radio station 5 just retunes to frequency f 1, and on forward and reverse link 12 and 14, recover and the communicating by letter of the base station 10 of starting.In this way, significantly reduced receiver be tuned to the time quantum changed of other frequencies, used frequency when other frequencies described here are different from mobile radio station and start base station communication.
The information that sends by forward link is arranged to many frames, and the transmitting time of a frame is approximately 20 milliseconds.According to well-known, send the conventional art of information by digital wireless communication network, send the speed of data according to the base station of starting, the format in the frame is become one or more error correction blocks.Each such piece is encoded, produce an error correction sequence.Destroyed or lose (that is, being referred to as " mistake reception ") as any information is arranged in the infructescence, so can with in the remaining information derived sequence in the sequence by the wrong part (that is " correction " mistake) that receives.The amount of information that can correct depends on used specific error correction coding algorithm.Wireless communication system depends on the convolutional encoding scheme usually and Viterbi decoder carries out error correction.In addition, to the information in the piece be interweaved usually, to improve the error correcting capability of error correction scheme to relatively long wrong received information sequence.Interweaving is the process of a kind of information adjacent in the error correction sequence is scatter in this sequence scope (that is, to this sequence scrambling).For example, are error correction sequences as infructescence 13245, the error correction sequence after interweaving so can be 41235, so can be not adjacent in the sequence of any two adjacent numerals after interweaving in the original series.The algorithm that is used for interweaving information is well known in the art.In some cases, can in 20 milliseconds of frames, send several error correction code blocks together.In general, this occurs under the relative higher data rate behavior.But each piece is an absolute coding.In general, resulting error correction sequence also is an individual interleaving.
Fig. 2 shows an example according to institute's revealing method and equipment, mobile radio station 5 be tuned to used time of frequency f 2 and the relativeness of a frame duration.Since mobile station receiver be tuned to used time of alternative frequency shorter relatively, so interweave and the error correction coding means can derive mobile radio station be tuned to the information that do not receive during alternative frequency.
In case the data of capturing are just carried out off line search (at this moment, mobile radio station 5 be tuned to frequency f 1).Therefore, recover mobile radio station 5 and the communication of starting between the base station 10 will be handled the used time of reception information faster than receiver in holding frequency f2.Cause that because of the humorous frequency f 2 of being transferred to the duration of wiping obviously is less than the corresponding duration in the existing method among the present invention.In the IS-95 system, can in about 4 milliseconds, finish tuning and retune.The intrasystem memory-size of this kind requires to allow the twice (for I and Q channel, being all 4/sampling) with spreading rate that 512 chip data are sampled.This causes 1024 bytes of memory requirements.For those skilled in the art, it is conspicuous replacing above-mentioned value with other value, and every kind of situation all will be traded off between complexity and performance.Capture time in this embodiment of the present invention is approximately 0.5ms.The duration of IS-95 Frame is 20ms.Therefore, for this example, total erasing time is approximately 5ms, and this is not enough to destroy entire frame.
According to an embodiment, the search of alternative frequency f2 is related to than low rate frame, such as 1/8 rate frame.In this example, the data volume that is wiped free of is unimportant usually, therefore just can correct by encoding and interweaving, and can not produce mistake.
In another embodiment, in order to reduce memory requirement, can write down less sampling length from frequency f 2.Partial results in the time of can calculating the off line search with these results.Finish up to search, mobile radio station 5 is return frequency f2.The example of search is below described.
Because the off line search does not need to carry out in real time, so this method and equipment improve to some extent.The execution speed of search is the same fast with the circuit operating rate that current techniques is allowed, and perhaps in power budget, this is a very common half measure in this area.Like this, system design must can be compared with the method for prior art and reduced to wipe speed and search time greatly.
Owing to received signal may change fast because of mobile radio station 5 residing environmental changes, so, wish so and the process of sampling alternative frequency f2 can be repeated repeatedly if search is offset in a large number.Repetitive process allows to use new data, and improvement provided by the invention simultaneously can reduce and repeat the frame error cost of taking a risk relevant to other frequency.
This sampling and stored information method permission begin to set up contacting of mobile radio station 5 and target BS when the base station of starting is by the Frequency Transfer user data that starts.Time migration when in addition, mobile radio station 5 can be discerned mobile radio station from the target BS receiving multipath signals before reality is carried out the hard handoff switching.Obtain the needed time quantum of target BS when therefore, having significantly reduced the switching of execution hard handoff.
Fig. 3 is a notion sequential chart, illustration according to the working condition of this method and equipment.In the time period 210, energy is by the Frequency Transfer that starts.During the time period 212, receiver is retuned to the target frequency band from the frequency that starts, and the signal that receives with this frequency of sampling and storage.Then, with the tuning frequency that starts of getting back to of receiver.During the time period 212, the mobile radio station 5 usefulness frequency that starts does not receive any data.Mobile station receiver can be tuned to other frequency, and repeatedly store information from these other frequencies, cause the enough information of storage, do not have such candidate to allow the hard handoff handoff candidate of mobile station receiver identification requirement, perhaps to judge.In Fig. 3, said process repeats secondary again during time period 214,216,218 and 220.During the time period 222, mobile station receiver receives data with the frequency that starts.During the time period 224, carry out from the switching of frequency of starting to target frequency.When the time periods 226 begin, collect search data with target frequency.During the acquisition procedure in the time period 224, do not transmit the Any user data, produce a service disconnection phase 230.
Owing in time period 212,216 and 220, collecting and having stored the information that receives with target frequency, carry out the duration of acquisition procedure behind the handover so reduced, and can exempt this section period in some cases.Carry out the acquisition procedure that shortens with the preliminary data of collecting.For example, mobile radio station 5 can dwindle mobile radio station 5 greatly with the information of collecting and is used for seeking the search window that can assign multipath signal.In some cases, mobile station receiver will be known the true skew of interested each multipath signal in the target band.
According to an example of the method and apparatus that discloses here, adjacent mobile station receiver be tuned to the front and back of alternative frequency, the data transfer rate of selecting with the relative nominal of a kind of energy effectively improves the mode of instantaneous data rates, by the frequency transmission data that start.Relatively nominal data rate improves data rate and can prevent to lose letter in that the reception intercourse takes place when mobile radio station 5 untuneds when starting frequency.That is to say, by improve receiver be tuned to the data volume that sends before and after the alternative frequency, can set up a window, between this window phase, receiver in the mobile radio station can stop to receive information with the frequency that starts, but does not reduce the total amount of data that the base station 10 of starting sends to mobile radio station 5.This window is used for collecting data on interested other frequency.Can data rate be brought up to more than the selected speed of nominal with various means.The example that below provides is preferable, because it can be implemented in the constraint of IS-95 system.
A limiting factor to definite system data rates is required link performance.Required link performance is generally determined by the number of errors that the gained received signal can allow.Carrier To Noise Power Density (the e when error rate is energy per bit and signal reception
b/ N
0) the function of ratio.Energy per bit e
bIt is the signal power that in the duration of a bit, totally receives.For example, below energy per bit under two kinds of situations be identical, first kind of situation be, in a microsecond in the time, receives a bit with-50 decibels power (dBm) of a relative milliwatt; Second kind of situation is in 500 times nanosecond, receives a bit with the power of-47dBm.Carrier To Noise Power Density (N
0) be measuring to the suffered background noise of bit energy.If it is identical that the size of background noise keeps, but the power when receiving bit doubles, so at identical e
b/ N
0To such an extent as under the identical link performance condition, the transmission used time of identical data can reduce by half.This depends on following principle, i.e. lift mode work, and to the additional flexibility of channel increase.
Lift mode is a kind of means and method that can make the temporary transient increase of system data rates.Though lift mode is worked, generally can be applicable to many systems under the IS-95 system constraint.Fig. 4 is a line for the moment, illustration the working condition of lift mode.Fig. 4 shows 5 frames, and running time from left to right.When the base station judgement needed lift mode, a lift mode order was sent in the base station during frame 240.The a pair of frame of electing is specified in the lift mode order.In this example, the base station has been elected the second and the 3rd frame, and they follow the back at the frame that receives described order.During frame 242, transmit data with standard mode.During frame 242, mobile radio station 5 is handled the lift mode order equally.During frame 244 and 246, carry out the lift mode order.At the first half of frame 244, the base station sends data to mobile radio station 5 by lift mode.During lift mode, improved effective data rate.At the latter half of frame 244, mobile radio station 5 avoids realizing such as the above-mentioned frequency deviation function such as fragmentation procedure of catching.Equally, at the first half of frame 246, mobile radio station 5 avoids continuing to carry out the frequency deviation function.At the latter half of frame 246, the base station sends data to mobile radio station 5 by lift mode.During frame 248, can recover the transfer of data of standard.
According to IS-95, the duration of every frame is 20 milliseconds.Therefore, the free time 250 of setting up with the method is approximately 20 milliseconds.Generally, mobile radio station 5 needs about 3 milliseconds of converting into target frequency bands, and needs about 3 milliseconds of conversions to return, and therefore in order to realize the frequency deviation function, needs to keep about 14 milliseconds.If system catches, can carry out several lift mode frames continuously so.Because field condition is time dependent, so the data of in time not using of catching can stale.
The concrete form of lift mode order depends on the frequency deviation operation that can realize.If lift mode command specifies mobile radio station 5 is carried out one and caught segmentation, the lift mode order can have following form so: frequency is specified, pilot signal is specified, search box size.The frequency appointment is used to specify mobile radio station 5 execution and catches used frequency band of segmentation or channel.Pilot signal is specified and be used to specify the sequence that mobile radio station 5 should use in search procedure.Search box size is used to specify mobile radio station 5 and is used for making sequence and the relevant time migration group of input data.If receive lift mode order and selected frame between relation be not intrinsic in the message, it is right that the lift mode order can also be specified selected frame so.In Fig. 4, suppose when receiving the lift mode order, carry out the task of appointment in the second and the 3rd frame of mobile radio station 5 after receiving the lift mode order.
The lift mode transfer of data can be worked under the restriction of IS-95 well.The raising base station sends forward link signals during lift mode power can have two different purposes.At first, by with more high-power emission, can shorten the duration of a code element, thereby can in the identical time, send more information.Secondly, by with more high-power emission, be received information integrity with better, thereby the information errors that receives is less.When in a frame decay taking place, especially like this.If with bigger power transmit frame, the possibility that makes a mistake that decays so will reduce.Therefore, even do not improve the speed that sends data, the speed that receives error-free data also can obviously increase.By reducing the possibility of makeing mistakes in the transmission, can derive with the error correcting capability of receiver mobile radio station 5 be tuned to the content of the frame lost during alternative frequency.Above-mentioned two advantages can independently be used, and perhaps use together and (that is, to improve power and send information with the phase same rate, thereby reduce mistake, perhaps in order supporting with bigger speed rates, to improve power.)
Fig. 5 is a block diagram, shows the working condition of base station, is included in coding and the modulation carried out on the forward communication channels, and comprises the lift mode working condition.Opposite with work on hand method shown in Figure 4, three inputs have determined to be applied to the amplitude on the signal: forward link power control characteristic, data rate multiplier and lift mode multiplier.The forward link power control characteristic is determined by the forward link power controlling mechanism.The data rate multiplier is by the data rate decision of present frame.In addition, the new final control signal of output level relatively of 126 pairs of decisions of multiplier applies the lift mode multiplier impact.The lift mode multiplier is used for bringing up to the rising grade in the grade that a lift mode will transmit data image duration.During the frequency deviation part of lift mode frame, interrupt transmission signals on forward link channels with switch 128.Another kind method is that the gain of forward link channels is set to zero simply.
Can in comprising the various medium of software and hardware, realize multiplier 126 and switch 238.The exemplary embodiments of this method and equipment is included in the computer software of carrying out on the standard microprocessor, perhaps application-specific IC (ASIC).Therefore, the method and apparatus that discloses is here relatively easily implemented.
Mobile radio station 5 usefulness are same as the decoding process of standard frame the data in the lift mode frame are decoded.The valid data factor produces according to the method for coding usefulness.If the lift mode frame comprises the full rate data, there is a half code element not send so.For example, during first selected frame 244 of Fig. 4, do not send eight power control groups of second cover.But, please noting pattern owing to block interleaver 114, eight power control groups that first cover is sent out comprise the code element of all odd-numbereds, and eight power control groups of second cover comprise the code element of all even-numbereds.
To understand as those skilled in the art, if only provide and export corresponding code elements with 110 1 of encoders, use such as standard convolutional decoders such as Viterbi decoders so and can recover original bit sequence, and the structure of mobile radio station 5 does not need to revise for working under lift mode.But, lost the redundancy that increases by cataloged procedure, so the immunity (such as what cause) that data are lost because of decline.If the DRP data reception process of mobile radio station 5 nonintervention standards, the energy that does not send code element so will produce lower noise level, and these values can be imported decode procedure, but utilize the characteristic of decode procedure, and these values influence decoding output not too largely.Another kind method is, mobile radio station 5 is intervened at mobile radio station 5 not as wiping the code element that content sends, and with its decoding.Under above-mentioned any mode, if the lift mode multiplier raises the forward link signals level, the full rate data bit can be returned to performance so can compare with standard data delivery, thereby has overcome redundant loss.
As mentioned above, according to IS-95, general power control command can thrust forward link channels.By this method, when carrying power control sub-channel, forward link channels can lose the performance of forward link channels.Control is thrust if code element also is subjected to power, owing to lost redundancy, mobile radio station 5 can not only be decoded to data according to the code element of even-numbered or the code element of odd-numbered so.Therefore, when full-rate vocoding experience elevation process, MUX 118 no longer thrusts the power control command on the forward link channels.In addition, before code element was delivered to decode procedure, mobile radio station 5 was construed to data with each code element of its reception, and will not replace power control bit with wiping.
Forward link channels is not thrust with power control command in the base station, but delayed delivery power control command simply.For example, refer again to Fig. 4, the power control command of transmission in frame 244 is thrust in the base station, and is closelying follow transmission order in the frame 248 after selected frame centering second frame 246.Equally, will thrust on the frame of power control command thorn incoming frame 248 back on selected frame centering second frame 246.This operation is favourable, because the frequency deviation task also can be interrupted reverse chain channel, so the base station will can not produce effective power control information for the power control command that produces corresponding to selected frame centering reverse link frame.Therefore, the base station can abandon according to the power control command of reverse link selected frame to producing, and applies delayed on subsequent frame but effective power control command, to replace invalid order.
The operation of low rate even better.For 1/2 rate frame of IS-95, eight power control groups of first cover comprise all code elements from 1-192.Notice that second field only is the repetition of first field.Therefore, even do not send the energy of half frame, mobile radio station 5 still can receive all symbol datas.If the rising multiplier increases the forward link signals level, overcome losing of half signal energy, mobile radio station 5 can just look like to have sent entire frame with double speed data decoding of identical performance so.
Equally, notice that for 1/4 rate frame of IS-95,4 power control groups of first cover have comprised all code elements from 1-96, and the code element in 4 power control groups of first cover repeats simply in remaining 12 power control groups.Notice that for 1/8 rate frame of IS-95,2 power control groups of first cover have comprised all code elements from 1-48, and after 14 power control groups repeat 7 identical code elements.Therefore, if the rising multiplier increases the forward link signals level, overcome losing of half signal energy, mobile radio station 5 can be decoded to 1/4 and 1/8 speed data with identical performance so, just looks like to have sent entire frame.For the Frame of low rate more, the base station also can not make power control sub-channel work.
Can during at least one field, increase interference with the lift mode multiplier according to increasing power to all the other mobile radio stations.In second half image duration, system is not increased and disturb.Therefore, the average interference that lift mode increased is identical with the interference that normal running conditions increases down.
In ideal conditions, in lift mode image duration, the power output on the forward link channels is doubled.But in some cases, this operation is unnecessary or impossible.In addition, in some cases, power increases just is enough to obtain required systematic function less than twice.In other cases, running parameter (comprising mobile radio station forward link power control characteristic) according to current system, complete the doubling of forward link channels power of current mobile radio station 5 can be selected to refuse to make in the base station, to help reducing the interference that all the other mobile radio stations are produced.For example, typical base station design is limited in about 3dB and above about 6dB below the nominal level with the forward link power control range.If the order of lift mode multiplier changes to outside the tolerance band, may need to limit the influence of lift mode multiplier so.
Fig. 6 is a flow chart, shows the base station working condition according to lift mode.Flow process starts from initial square frame 260.In square frame 262, the base station sends a message to mobile radio station 5, is used to discern the frame of being elected.For example, Xuan Ding frame can be corresponding to selected frame among Fig. 4 to 244 and 246.Shown in square frame 264, when the base station sent right first frame of selected frame, the base station increased forward link power levels.Still at square frame 264, thrust by the power control that stops on the forward link channels base station, and power control sub-channel can not be worked.At square frame 266, the base station sends the first half parts of first selected frame.In square frame 270, the first half parts of the second half parts of first selected frame and second selected frame are interrupted sending with forward link in the base station.For example, referring again to Fig. 5, the base station can cut-off switch 128.In square frame 270, the base station sends the second half parts of second selected frame.At square frame 272, the base station resets to nominal level by the influence of eliminating the rising multiplier with forward link power control, and makes power control sub-channel work.Process finishes in square frame 274 places.
Fig. 7 is a flow chart, illustration the working condition of mobile radio station 5 under lift mode.Flow process starts from initial square frame 280.In square frame 282, mobile radio station 5 receives the lift mode order, and identification is selected right.For example, in Fig. 6, it is right that the lift mode order of transmitting in frame 240 is appointed as selected frame with frame 244 and 246.In square frame 284, mobile radio station 5 receives the first half parts of first selected frame.To the processing of this frame and parallel generation of remaining step shown in Figure 7.In square frame 286, mobile radio station 5 is carried out the frequency deviation task.In square frame 288, mobile radio station 5 receives the second half parts of second selected frame, and as mentioned above to frame decoding.Process finishes in end block 290 places.
Generally speaking, the present invention can implement in following system, and described system arranges code element, makes duplicating by each bit information during a subdivision of normal data unit.For example, in the above description, interlace mode will be from first set of symbols (it comprises that the coding to each information bit duplicates) of half rate convolution coder.According to above-mentioned base station/mobile station system, link or both can be by lift mode work forward or backwards.For example, in the ideal case, forward and reverse chain channel can enter lift mode simultaneously, because of lift mode can obliterated data on any link.
For those skilled in the art, be readily appreciated that other several embodiment about above-mentioned General Principle.For example,, can be clear that, when lift mode with less than the rate sending data of full rate the time works together better according to above explanation.Therefore, in one embodiment, the base station applies restriction to data source, force data rate during selected frame less than full rate.For example, the base station can apply restriction to rate changeable vocoder, perhaps reduces the amount of digital data that retrieves from formation.In another embodiment, checked selected frame and detect selected frame less than full rate after, the base station sends the lift mode order.For example, the lift mode order can specify a pair of base station to know that it is right by the selected frame of forming less than the frame of full rate.In another embodiment, the generation of low rate frame can be attempted predicting in the base station.For example, digitized speech meets statistical model.In digital voice, generally in a series of low rate frame, scatter some full-rate vocoding pulse trains.When detecting a series of low rate frame, the base station can foretell that a selected frame comprises a low rate frame.During high data rate, the lift mode order can be selected to postpone to send in the base station.Therefore, the base station can predict that a frame may comprise the data less than full rate.
In addition, the lift mode order needn't consume system resources.For example, in Fig. 4, the lift mode order takies frame 240 as can be seen, can not transmitting user data in this image duration because of drawing.But, on the power control sub-channel that power control command is penetrated on the forward link channels, also can in forward link channels, the lift mode order be thrust.In addition, can the lift mode order be sent to mobile radio station 5 by a discrete control channel.
For other reason except that carrying out interim frequency deviation task, also can carry out lift mode at mobile radio station 5.For example, system can set up a period of time with lift mode, and mobile radio station 5 receives message on can being used in such as different channels with same frequency work such as control channels in this time.Another kind method is, realizes miscellaneous function with free time in the base station.If realize miscellaneous function in the base station, the base station does not need rising order notice mobile radio station 5 so.
In another example, can provide the extra time to carry out permanent transition with lift mode to a target band.For example, occurrence is with reference to figure 3, note during the time period 222, under higher lift mode data rate with the frequency transmission data that start.In normal working conditions, the data of transmission at the time durations of dashed region 228 expressions, continue transmission by original channel in the time period 222.Therefore, the service disconnection phase 230 starts from the right border of dashed region 228 expression, rather than the time period 222 right border.In interval, the receiver of mobile radio station 5 can become target band with incoming frequency when dashed region 228 expression, and begins the acquisition procedure that obtains or simplify.In this example, the base station sends a lift mode transition order to mobile radio station 5, specifies a selected frame and a hard handoff switch of frequency band.The base station sends the lift mode data on the first half parts of selected frame, and stops to send during the second half parts of selected frame.
In another example, can provide the relevant effectively information of handoff target frequency with lift mode.When mobile radio station 5 move system's area of coverage around the time, the physical location of mobile radio station 5 is not known by system.Carry out the position that hard handoff switches in order to determine whether mobile radio station 5 is positioned at, mobile radio station 5 can be collected data sampling with target frequency with being similar to above-mentioned method of catching fragmentation procedure.Detect sampling, determine the useful signal level whether mobile radio station 5 is receiving from target BS.
In some cases, used such as described handover is definite just now, it is favourable carrying out the lift mode frame by periodicity or model mode.In this case, the lift mode order can be specified zero-time, pattern or cycle and concluding time.
In some cases, mobile radio station 5 itself can determine carry out the time of lift mode frame.For example, mobile radio station 5 can be made such decision according to reverse link data characteristic or forward link performance characteristics.In this case, mobile radio station 5 sends a lift mode order to the base station, specifies one or more selected frames.
Equally, lift mode needn't comprise a pair of selected frame.Lift mode can be carried out in single image duration, perhaps carries out on series of frames.Selected frame is to needing not to be two continuous frames.If the base station can carry out the first lift mode frame, suspend the transmission forward link channels in many image durations so, carries out the second lift mode frame then greater than the time of internally setting up at selected frame the time of frequency deviation mission requirements.
In addition, can so implement the present invention, so that set up the free time that field is above or field is following.For example, if selected frame carries 1/8 speed data by lift mode, can send data with the level of 8 times of about nominal level so, thereby make free time equal 7/8 of a frame.
In comprising an embodiment of system of the present invention, be used for from one of base station 10 order of starting determine mobile radio station 5 stop with the frequency that starts receive from the forward link signals of the base station 10 of starting and be tuned to another frequency in case search with moment of the signal of other frequency transmission.Can clearly discern the described moment in order, perhaps identify a time period in order, the wherein said time period is longer relatively with respect to searching for required time quantum.If identify the relatively long time period (for example, 80 milliseconds), mobile radio station can correctly be selected when to search in the time period of this identification so.Be preferably in the frequency that starts and send this order.In another system, mobile system will be only a relative frame starting point or end point or relatively another reference point predetermined instant be tuned to other frequency, wherein in described reference point, allow to start base station 10 and mobile radio station 5 are coordinated mobile radio stations 5 will stop to receive moment from the transmission of the base station 10 of starting.Then, coordinate the sequential of searching for start moment that frequency sends SMS message of base station 10 usefulness that start.
In addition, in case mobile radio station 5 is finished the alternative frequency search, mobile radio station 5 is just to the base station 10 search report results that start.Base station 10 can not receive information from mobile radio station owing to start, and returns the frequency that starts up to mobile radio station 5, so mobile radio station 5 must will guarantee also that these report message have only returned at mobile radio station 5 and send when starting frequency.
For example, usually the duration is sent to mobile radio station less than the message of 5ms (such as, control signaling message) with the frequency that starts.According to an embodiment of system, the base station 10 of starting guarantees only to send SMS message during first's (such as latter half) of 20ms frame.Therefore, start 5 of base station 10 order mobile radio stations during the other parts (such as first half) of 20ms frame Nei Fei first be tuned to other frequency, cause this first not can with this frame in be used for sending SMS message or to send the other parts of report message from mobile radio station overlapping from the base station.One frame is being divided under the situation of a plurality of subframes, and this is even more important.
For example, the suggestion that has a communication industry normal structure considering at present in this suggestion, is divided into the frame of a plurality of 5ms with a traditional 20ms frame, so that transmit on the control channel of special use.Then, with in these 5ms frame aggregations to 20ms frame.But, with an error correcting code to each such subframe coding, so that can be according to the content of specific sub-frame to this subframe error correction.Only in receiving this specific sub-frame during enough correct data amount, could be to this specific sub-frame error correction.In this example, with mobile radio station be tuned to another frequency 3ms only, this can not recover the information that sends during a specific 5ms subframe, because the information in this class subframe of being included in is absolute coding (that is, the size that is used for the data block of error correction coding equals the data volume that sends in the 5ms subframe).Therefore, consistent to the moment of the frequency that starts by the moment that the base station 10 that guarantees to start sends SMS message with mobile radio station 5 untuneds, can be to the mobile radio station 5 and base station 10 both assurances of starting, mobile radio station 5 can successfully receive the short message of attempting to send to mobile radio station.In addition, by make moment that mobile radio station 5 sends report message and mobile radio station 5 be tuned to start moment of frequency consistent, the transmission of the 10 pairs of report message in base station of can not interrupting starting of search itself or any subsequent searches.
Above-mentioned description to preferred embodiment is provided, and they can make any technical staff of this area use or realize the present invention.For those skilled in the art, be conspicuous to the various variations of these embodiment, and do not need creative work the General Principle that limits can be applied to other embodiment here.Therefore, the embodiment shown in the present invention is not limited to here, the present invention should meet and the corresponding to wide region of the principle that discloses here and novel feature.
